They have a round sucker mouth full of teeth and attach to other fish and suck their blood, little VAMPIRES!!!!!!!
WHERE IN DUBLIN BAY?? between kingstown and ringsend cannot be more specific (i need my knee caps ) you know the storieeeeeeeeeeeeee!
lamprey is available in baumans in stillorgan its 6 yo yos for 2
i think its available in southside angling to
this stuff is like something dunlop make for runners and will take a serious hammering am only experimenting with it at the moment will try it on its own off the beach next see what happens

Would hope they're imported - they are a protected species here :!:

I asked this question of a bait supplier and they are imported.
